Tentative Deals and Midtown Arrests Mark Week Four of NYC Nurses Strike

Talks at the Javits Center continue with enforceable staffing ratios remaining unresolved alongside workplace‑violence protections.

Overview

  • Roughly 15,000 nurses from Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork‑Presbyterian remain on strike on Day 25, the city’s largest nurses walkout on record.
  • NYSNA says the sides reached tentative agreements on artificial intelligence safeguards at all affected hospitals, building on an earlier deal to preserve health benefits.
  • The union identifies safe staffing standards and protections from workplace violence as the main sticking points preventing a settlement.
  • NYPD confirmed 13 arrests after striking nurses blocked the entrance to the Greater New York Hospital Association headquarters during a Midtown protest.
  • Negotiations continue at the Javits Center as hospitals report operations remain open using contingency staffing, with systems previously citing more than $100 million in strike‑readiness costs and relying on state emergency authorizations.
